I love that St Julia** mixed it up last week at her Stamping Ground, and posted ultra-early - I visited a load of new desks, mainly in the southern hemisphere :)
Anyway, here's my desk as of Tuesday late afternoon
(I've just noticed, I almost pushed Brenda's photo off the best of the desk - a near oops!)
I decided to crack on framing a couple of things.
Professional framing is so expensive, I tend to reuse frames I already have, if possible...
This is what I was framing in the pic
It's a monoprint by Birdie Fincham, which I bought with the last of my birthday money. I adore it - it's called 'The Blessing of Water', and it really spoke to me...
This is how I imagine my soul - the dear soul that's trying to Be A Vessel this year...
And then, I framed this...
... which Esther did for my birthday - I know it took a long time to do and several attempts!
I just love how she's changed the year Liverpool FC was established to my birth year :)
Now, I'm off to visit desks in far-off places...
Till next Wednesday - a full seven days away!

** I propose Ms Dunnit is put forward for sainthood, as she's been hosting this mad party for 212 weeks with both patience and aplomb - all hail St Julia!!

Thank you so much for including the print in a blog!
Have you ever tried charity shops for frames? It's where I get all mine from. You just need someone on take them apart and give them a clean/remove any old images, then either recycle the old mat or get a new one and you have a frame for a few pounds. Charity shops are generally overrun with them!
what a great gift - given that they're my team too!! Have a lovely week. Helen, 7
Thanks for sharing and have a great week

Great picture from your daughter and love the one you treated yourself to. I go to auctions to buy frames. You can often get a job lot of pictures with frames for about £10. Hugs. Pam#28
A frame always makes a difference, doesn't it? And oh yes, Ms. Julia definitely deserves a prize, or a party, or may sainthood!
